THE 2021 CONFERENCE ON TEST SECURITY
No matter your industry, you will find valuable content that is relevant to your area of expertise at #COTS2021. Join experts from all types of organizations as they discuss the test security capabilities and enhancements that protect the validity of test results and brand integrity.
The 2021 conference will be hosted in partnership with ETS. While we hope the state of the COVID-19 pandemic will have improved to allow for an in-person event, the conference may proceed in a virtual format if COVID-19 continues to pose a health threat. We will communicate the format of the conference no later than June 1, 2021.
Registration
At #COTS2019, experts from over 80 organizations across eight countries gathered together to learn about the latest research in testing. Attendees benefited from over 50 educational sessions designed to facilitate open, honest discussions. By attending #COTS2021, you can learn how to:
- Build more secure tests,
- Create a test security plan,
- Implement policies and best practices,
- Use statistics to detect examinees who may be cheating,
- Convey security information and findings to stakeholders or courts of law,
- And more!
Registration is not yet open. We will provide details about registration no later than June 1, 2021.
